Love can complete your permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer in just one quick visit!ĬEREC ® means we can quickly and economically restore damaged teeth using a durable ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth in your mouth. What is CEREC ®?ĬEREC® is the world’s first system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. Anderson’s practice, Anderson & Zentz Dental, at (509) 585-2500.CEREC is fast, safe, and provides a natural-looking restoration that will stand the test of time.ĬEREC does more than just crowns – this revolutionary system is also used for inlays, onlays, and new fillings. Need a crown? Take advantage of the quick, effective, and relatively cheap CEREC method that Dr.
Once the machine has done its work, all that’s left to do is for your dentist to take the crown out of the machine, polish it, fix it to the damaged tooth, and you’re good to go. This will only take about 10 or 20 minutes. A ceramic block is fed into the milling machine, and a set of diamond burs carve that block into the shape the dentist designed. Once your dentist has finished designing the crown, they’ll send that design via a wireless connection to the milling machine. This part of the process should take only about 5 minutes, and it makes the uncomfortable experience of shoving a gooey impression tray in your mouth no longer necessary.
The 3D model allows your dentist to design your restoration on the spot, while you wait/watch.
WHAT DOES CEREC STAND FOR SOFTWARE
The advanced software in the computer then takes that image and displays it as a 3D model. The acquisition unit is a medical-grade computer and camera that takes a detailed image of the tooth that is about to be crowned. How Does It Work?ĬEREC requires two pieces of equipment: an acquisition unit and a milling machine. That first C may stand for “chairside”, but it could just as easily stand for “convenient” or “cost-effective”. What used to take days can now be done in a single visit, and it’s much cheaper now too. Then, you would have to leave that appointment and wait a few days for all the lab work to be completed before you could come in to actually get your crown.ĬEREC is a much more efficient practice. First, you had to sink your teeth into the nasty filament that lines impression trays. And, finally, Ceramics: the CEREC method uses ceramics/porcelain instead of metal.īefore CEREC, the process of having crowns made and then installed took a lot of time. Esthetic: the CEREC method is used to enhance the appearance of your smile. Restoration: the CEREC method restores damaged teeth back to their natural appearance. Economical: CEREC is more affordable for both the dentist and the patient compared to previous methods. Let’s break that down one term at a time.Ĭhairside: the dentist uses the CEREC method while the patient sits in the chair everything is done in one appointment. OK, that’s a lot to process in one sitting. CEREC is an acronym that stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s not much of a mystery, in fact pretty much everything you need to know about CEREC is all in the name.
